I had a blast being my high school mascot, the home of the tigers during my senior year. The 1st time I had the costume on, the ventilation fan did not have batteries, it was in the low 80s. I only had a long sleeve on I had to smell my own sweat, it was insane. Lesson learned.

[@LaraAkal]

Very cool perspective getting to learn more about the male characters, thanks for sharing, Jennifer!

[@OakesPrincess]

thank you for watching!

[@laurendewitt8403]

i always had crush on aladdin few years ago i saw video john smith with pocahontas at disneyland in 90s they had pocahontas stage show at disney world i thought john smith was cute i wish still meet him at the parks

[@imnimbusnick5885]

I was wondering if you had any information on male Disney roles besides the princes, like Mad Hatter or Peter Pan. Is height more lenient with guys bc they are less in supply? Also what does signing up for seasonal work mean? Is that only Christmas/Halloween, or is it just any one season in particular? Thank you so much!!! LOVE your videos!!!!

i can help to answer!! height is always strict, unfortunately, but if disney really likes you, they will measure you as a little bit smaller or taller than your actual height at the audition to put you in a certain range. in regards to your other question, someone who is seasonal has to work a minimum of 40 hours a year, so those 40 hours can be at any time. a lot of seasonal workers are in school so they get those hours during their breaks (spring break, summer break, christmas break), but you can get them at any time.

Good Luck to you if you do audition! c:

[@ajshim]

Yes! I was hoping for a video like this!

[@Karenbella31]

How interesting! Thank you, Jennifee.❤️

[@danielleckie7211]

Can you possibly be regularly be a fur and face regularly like being peter and Mickey regularly, or goofy and Gaston or just face

[@mmmmshhh5782]

Lol I’ve always wondered if the staff gets to ride the rides during certain times that customers at the park cant

[@jinquinn777]

Must suck being in a heavy costume especially in summer😲

[@OakesPrincess]

lolololol

[@jaredbupp5579]

Great video!! Could you get someone you new that was Prince Charming and do a video with him? I really want to become a Disney Prince, and a lot of my friends say I look like the guys who perform as him at Disney World. Thank you!!

[@OakesPrincess]

Hey Jared! Now if only I could get a "Retired Disney Prince" to agree to do a video with me, lol!!! that will be the day! hahaha.. hmm.. if people are already telling you you have a shot, then I say go for it! audition! you probably do have a really good shot... guys felt (for me) so few and far between, that when they would walk in to audition, all eyes were on them.. and regardless of how good you were or weren't, you were being carefully considered... how are you with following a choreographed routine?

[@jaredbupp5579]

I'm pretty decent, I'm in theatre and if we go over it a few times I got it down pretty decent

[@capt3rdleg835]

Yay another video!!!

[@sempati8228]

Amazing video! Ty

My dream was to work at Disney, but My arms are literally covered in tattoos. Too late now 😂

[@mmmmshhh5782]

itspeterzz Oof :/

[@NunuDoodles2008]

I am 15, and I want to audition to be Prince Naveen when I am older, but I think all the Princes have to be 5'10 or taller. I dont know if I will be tall enough, but if I'm not, I want to help Disney make animated films or help Disney in the culinary section. 🏰

[@OakesPrincess]

I love that you are open to other dreams if one doesn't come true! I feel like this is sooo necessary when you audition, to have other avenues of ways to enjoy life. You sound so creative! I hope you achieve all your dreams! xo

[@NunuDoodles2008]

@@OakesPrincess Thank you!

[@JP-1990]

How tall are we talking?

[@NunuDoodles2008]

[@DanielRodFer]

Do you walk in auditioning for a certain role or do they see you and then set you with a set character they think you look like?

[@OakesPrincess]

I walked in with the idea of auditioning for a certain role (I had never auditioned before).. my reasoning was that because I had a Latin background, I would never be considered for Cinderella, Aurora, Mulan, etc.. so I just went with who I felt I resembled the most, based on my own opinion and that of my fiance at the time.. (Jasmine).. however, many walk in without any idea of who they might resemble and then they leave it all to chance... but I went in with my eyes done up w/the best "Arabic" makeup I could pull off and that worked for me. However, I did ask, at my first audition, if they would also consider me for Pocahontas, because I knew that the Pocahontas characters I had seen at Animal Kingdom, didn't seem to resemble Pocahontas very much, aka.. they were very, very Caucasian, and since I had more "ethnic" features, I thought I might be able to bring a little of that to the character.. and they agreed and also cast me for her in addition to Jasmine.. mind you, this was years ago, before Disney had a black princess.. so I just imagined they needed some more "ethnic" looking girls in their department. lol. I hoped then, that I was what they were looking for and I gave it my all at the audition.. and I am thankful that they cast me at the time. :D I hope that helps. But I think it helps to have an idea of who you might be considered as, then if they are open to other ideas, go with it. xo

[@kcmagicgirl5516]

In the stage shows are they really singing or lip singing?

[@OakesPrincess]

good question! often, they were really singing. :D Especially at Hollywood Studios.. in fact, all stage shows it was their real voice, only in parades do I recall them lip syncing to an audio track.. but even then, sometimes it was their real voice. It just depended. xo

[@districtminho3736]

I love this video

[@EveryDaySlacker]

I pictured a bunch of dudes in their Aladdin costumes fighting when she said they had rivalries. Rofl

[@External29]

What is the shortest guy you ever worked with?? How tall was he?? I want to audition for Aladdin, but I'm worried about the height requirement.

[@colbybingham-brasher1546]

Does Disney make more exceptions for the heights with male face character because of lack of guys that audition? Also is it easier to work your way up into the musical roles from the non musical face characters?

i said this in another comment, but if you have "the look" and are close to the height range, they might fudge your height a little bit upwards or downwards at the audition to help you out in that aspect, but if you're way off, you're out of luck. the musical roles are completely separate from nonmusical roles and, to my understanding, you would have to audition again to get those as opposed to "working up" to them. the only advantage i can think of is that they sometimes do cast member only auditions, and current cast members are usually allowed to audition first at open auditions and are given more consideration.

[@Otherwise88]

As has been mentioned, guys who are "close enough" might get through, but they'll need to be taller than the princesses.

[@cram1550]

I'm so sad Cuz at My school We Have A Play Of Cinderella But My problem Is that i'm that guy who is Not looking Good Or Not attracting I Feel Sad cause i know we have guys In Our room Who Is Good Looking and Good Singers But They Refuse being Prince And At Last They Choose Me Cause no one Will be Prince So Yeah I feel Sad, so Any Tips There? So That I can't feel Some Stress or shyness in playing my charact :

[@kakaphd3563]

Be charismatic, seems youre insecure. Just be confident.

[@mermaidsabrina123]

I'm 5'10 and I'm going to audition in a month! I'm scared I'm too tall I wish I could be shorter! Does anyone know if 5'10 is too tall to be a princess?

[@mermaidsabrina123]

Ji Hoon Lee I didn't like it it was unorganized. I think the auditions in America should be better I'm going there soon! Are you auditioning?

[@tsumtsumadventures1418]

There's a sixth grader girl at my school who's 5ft 11in.

[@OakesPrincess]

wow! anything is possible... it must be challenging to find clothes at the local store, I imagine. God bless her. xo

[@Podunks]

Are there certain things you need to audition?

[@Bookshelfstorage]

I heard that if you're straight and single, Disney Entertainment was a great place to meet attractive young women. If so, Disney should figure out a way of making that known during recruitment events. ... Did you find that most Aladdins were comfortable trying to have conversations with toddlers? ... Did you find that some teen girls straight up ignored Jasmine? ... I remember Rapunzel & Flynn being a pretty popular meet and greet for women in their 20s. So much so, that they had to limit his appearances to parades. True??

at disney world, you can only meet flynn at the new character breakfast (with rapunzel, prince eric, and ariel). in disneyland, you can meet him every day, and, yes, it is a very popular meet and greet!!

[@districtminho3736]

Honestly THo I always STUMBLE UPON the true identities of the people that play Peter Pan and it's Completely Sad and Accidental ;-; Fate or the Universe is probably like "Peter Pan isn't real. Look See! *makes me come across their Instagrams or KZbin pages or find an article or really anything that tells me they are real people with real lives* " BUT I PUSH ON THROUGH LOL I'm not going to let it make stop believing. Idk if it's just me that somehow finds these people? Peter Pan and Alice/ Wendy because, typically the Peter Pans are friends with the women who are friends with those characters.

[@alexcronin7664]

Hi how tall do you have to be a prince at Disney I'm 6ft1

[@OakesPrincess]

that's def tall enough.. they seem to def prefer a taller guy.. minimum I'd say is 5'9", but I feel like they prefer 5'10" plus.. that's just my experience. Though there are other face roles for guys that don't require such a height, such as Peter Pan and the Mad Hatter from Alice in Wonderland.. etc.

[@timl.6685]

I fit in with the criteria of being a male face character except one thing: I'm an Asian male.. bye bye chance of working at Disney :(

[@OakesPrincess]

AWWWW ARROW through the heart, boy.. lol. yeah... Disney needs to work on that.. that's a whole other genre of issue .. the male Asians in entertainment world in general..

[@DanielRodFer]

what about Shang?

[@timl.6685]

Dan Rodriguez I would love to play Shang. unfortunately he doesn't show up at Disneyland. he only shows up during special events.

[@hannahhester8376]

I really wish they'd make Shang be with Mulan at Disney all the time. It would make it more complete, because pretty much every other Princess who has a Prince are always together. It's not really fair.

[@snooopyland]

Tim L. You can be Mulan’s Prince - Shang. You could also be Aladdin?
